Well, I hardly feel like getting banned from two sites in one day, let alone from CalgaryPuck where I spend pretty much all day everyday. And like TorqueDog said...I don't even know if you can say it on here.
I'll try for science: ######

Yeah, that's what's insane/nuts/crazy (I think we're supposed to retire those words, too) to me. I've been banned from subreddits a couple times from overzealous mods (CrackMacs: I hate you), but this is a site-wide perma-ban. And believe it or not, I'm a pretty reasonable poster on there. There are some niche subreddits I like (I know that's everyone), but I'm a way bigger contributor than detractor. And the guy I called the bad word was being such a bad word that it was out of control he was even allowed to be posting anything at all.

No cap bruh. It's not TBT. The r-word is no way to throw shade, boomer.

I'd say the r-word is more Gen-Xer, but I'm not looking to throw Gen-Xers into the Internet's crosshairs, so I'll take the boomer hit. Xers have somehow been flying under the radar and it's amazing.
